Menu
In Visual Studio 2015, every now and then my "Search Solution Explorer" is disabled. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, and often restarting Visual Studio or loading a different project does not help. I don't see anyone else on the internet complaining about this. Anyone run into this and have a fix?
I do have Resharper installed, and perhaps that's causing problems, though I believe I've run into this before I ever installed Resharper.
Alternatively, is there a third party extension I can install in Visual Studio 2015 to search by filename?

The shortcut Ctrl+; set the focus in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer search textbox and you can start typing your search term(s). If the Solution Explorer panel is not visible this shortcut makes it visible.
Open Solution Explorer If you don't see the Solution Explorer tool window, you can open it from the Visual Studio menu bar by using View > Solution Explorer, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L.
Ctrl + Shift + F – Find in Solution Sometimes you want to search across your entire solution. You can double-click each item in the “Find Results” window to navigate to that instance of the search term you searched for.
You can navigate there quickly using Visual Studio Quick Launch (Ctrl + Q). Just type 'Track active' and you will get the quick link to the setting. Keep it checked, and off you go, the solution explorer and the current file will be in sync.
Renaming the .suo file worked for a colleague just now.

Delete the ".vs/projectname" folder from the "solutionname.sln" directory and restart visual studio should work.
